Hello,I just decided to become a vegiterian, but my reason may not make sense to most. I love animals, and have always has a passion for keeping them safe... It just hit me! WHY AM I EATING THEM????? I have eaten meat my whole life and it has never even crossed my mind!! I am only 17 yrs old, and I am afraid that if I tell my mom she will freak. My Best friend is a Vegiteran and has been for over 6 months, I am afraid that if i tell my mom she will think that my friend told me to stop eating meat, but she didnt. I dont know what to do.
